After spending time with villagers living along the Red Sea, and learning that an estimated 2 billion people worldwide have no affordable access to light, Mark Bent decided to light the world one flashlight at a time.
Mark is the founder of SunNight Solar, a solar-powered flashlight he developed in conjunction with the Department of Energy and NASA.
These lights help medical teams treat patients in refugee camps, farmers can use money spent on fuel on other necessities, and allow children to learn how to read at night without exposure to kerosene fumes.
Under the SunSolar's Buy-One-Give-One (BOGO) Light program, for every flashlight purchased, Bent donates a second light to non-profits that distribute the lights where they are needed.
